Definitely not full price, maybe during a game drought down the line. For now though it's low on the priority list

Getting the amiibo as a small ornamental piece but still unlikely to buy the Switch version of the game -- already got it for PS4 and considering a double dip on my PC.

I'll give up the PC double dip with my discount if they announce they added a local wireless mode to the Switch version, though. I do actually get together with friends with Switches and that'd be a great way to play, I feel.

I probably will, but I've got a pretty big backlog too so idk atm. Also waiting to hear about performance (with the delay and all).

I was kind of turned off by how the game was delayed at the last minute and not even a reason was given, and we're still waiting for a new release date.

Congrats Bamco, I'll buy when it's on sale.

Considering that the Switch is my main system and the the only Souls game I've played before was Demon Souls, I'm looking forward to it whenever it finally comes out.

The only thing that would delay my purchase would be my existing backlog.

It's missing one option in the Poll
"I've never played DarkSoulsv but there's better options on other platforms"

I can't for the life of me see why anyone would want to buy a version of a game on Switch unless they were only handheld gamers or only had a Switch. All the other platforms will have superior versions.
To me, convenience is superior to 60fps.

Yeah, I'm specifically waiting for the switch version.

I'd love a game like this to play at my desk. I could get it on PS4 but I'm fine with the 30 FPS and it doesn't look like the "remaster" adds very much graphically.

And because the game can be easily paused and picked back up, I'm gonna have a lot of fun just messing around with novelty builds and exploring.

I probably won't pick it up for a while but I still plan to get it just to have a version of Dark Souls on the go

Yes, i'm still getting it. Playing portable Souls was the reason i wanted it in the first place and that hasn't changed.

Got it on PC, so probably not. Maybe if it drops to bargain bin price in a few years.

If im going to buy the switch version basically comes down to if Virtuous Games fucked it up again or not. L.a. Noire was framerate (and audio) nightmare.

Luckily we still get a network test (unless they really fucked up and sweep it under the rug and not do a test on switch)

Yep, I played the beta on my Xbox One X but I wasn't sold. The PC version seems like a ripoff so it's portable Dark Souls for me, whenever it comes out.

Absolutely yes. But it would be nice to know the reason why it was delayed, and when I can expect to play it. As far as I know there's been no info on this beyond that tweet.

I'll probably get it day one. It's my favorite game ever and I'm a sucker for Dark Souls. The thought alone of getting some invasions in on my way to work excites me..and I never took my portables out of the house!

I'm still getting it, but with it's "Summer 2018" release tag and Okami and MHGU coming in August, I fear the line-up will be too packed. May was REALLY the perfect time for it...

Also, I have a feeling that it'll be a higher price when they reveal the new date.

I was so excited for the switch version, but I caved yesterday and bought the ps4 remaster. It will be my 3rd time playing through, so I think the switch has missed the boat for me as I won't need another play through for quite a while. Remaster is awesome, I can't stop playing.

I'm getting it for PS4 once I'm done with GoW. I've already played it at 30fps, want dat 60fps this time around. I don't use my Switch on trips often enough to make the portable aspect more important than the performance for me.

Might get it for Switch as well down the line if there's a great sale on it.

I picked up DS:R on PC so I could play in 4K. Don't know if I will get it on Switch. I think my next purchase will be Hollow Knight,

I still have it preordered on Amazon France and it's just 23€ for me due to different vouchers so I am gonna keep it.

I probably would have got it if it was same day release as PS4, but I cannot justify buying it twice.

Plus 60fps.

So no, I've other games to play.

i was planning to get it for switch as a first-time player (well, i bought the PS3 version but just never got around to it), but gave up the other day and just got it for PC instead. i'm glad i did — i'm really digging the game so far and i don't think handheld mode at 30fps would have been the best way to experience it for the first time.

might still double-dip whenever the switch version does come out, because it's clearly a game well-suited to multiple playthroughs and a handheld version would be neat, especially with the hindsight of actually knowing how to play it. still, kind of feel like the delay was a blessing in disguise for me.
 
I'm still picking it up day one. I'm about 22 hours into Xenoblade 2 and hope to have that, Earthlock, and Battle Chasers done before it arrives (I'm assuming an August release based on absolutely nothing - a September release would be even better for me).
Waiting until I have actual confirmation that blightown never goes under 30fps.
I think Blightown will be fine on Switch.

There was a time where Dark Souls Switch was my most anticipated game. Playing one of my favourite games of all time on a handheld? Heck yeah. The delay has unfortunately killed a lot of my buzz to the point where I didn't even notice other versions launch. I'll of course get it but I'm not as excited as I was last month.

I cancelled my preorder about a week ago. While DS on the go sounds amazing, I'm not convinced the joycons will control adequately. Also, I had never gone through the DLC so I'm just playing PtD edition while the community here is active

I almost bought it on PC again, but held off cause I've already played the game like 3 times and this gives me another experience

Right now my answer is no because I already got a copy, but once it comes out my hype levels will be real high and I'm sure I'll get it right away. Sigh.

Hmm after some thought I think I might actually cancel. Although I'll pick it up down the line, after trying the octopath demo I think I'll probs Pick that up instead

Definitely, although I might not get it right at launch...whenever that will be. "Bed Souls" is exactly why I want it.

Unless they have some crazy announcements at E3, this doesn't really change anything. I'll likely buy it around the release.

Probably not, at this point.

By the time it comes out, I'll likely be gearing up for Monster Hunter GU, among other possibilities.

Yep. Still getting it for switch. If I had gotten it on pc I would never play it. Switch makes it easier to play games. Love it
